Treacherous backdoor found in TP-Link routers

From the post:

Security experts in Poland have discovered a treacherous backdoor in various router models made by TP-Link. When a specially crafted URL is called, the router will respond by downloading and executing a file from the accessing computer, reports Michał Sajdak from Securitum.

Said to affect: TL-WDR4300 and TL-WR743ND models.

I read this bulletin and now you have read my post about it.

How do I capture this information so it can be recovered by anyone purchasing or interacting with TP-Link routers?

Or better yet, pushed to anyone who is at an online purchasing site?

In the flood of security flaws I am not going to remember this tidbit past tomorrow or maybe the next day.

Moreover, whatever defect is causing this issue, likely exists elsewhere. How do I capture that information as well?

In case you are interested: TP-Link.
